The architecture of the theatre is extraordinary, yet I could not say the same for the performance. The theatre ensemble is lacking quality and insight of comparable theatre ensambles of Britain and America. I went to see a Shakespeare play once (The Merchant of Venice) and I must say, comparing to e.g. the Old Vic or RSC in Stratford, I was quite disappointed by the production setting and performance of some actors.That said, the theatre and its actors are more suited for the classical Slovenian and the Balkan-based plays.
